The Woodrow Wilson Library, 6101
Knollwood Dr., Falls Church, will close at 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31 for
renovation and open in temporary quarters in October 2013. The branch’s
renovation is expected to take a minimum of 18 months. Woodrow Wilson
Library’s temporary site will be located at 6066 Leesburg Pike, Main
Level, Falls Church, VA 22041.

Due dates for library books and other items will be adjusted based on
the closing and opening date of the temporary location. Materials
borrowed from Woodrow Wilson Library can be returned to any Fairfax County Public Library. For details
or questions before Aug. 31, call 703-820-8774.

“While I regret the temporary inconvenience of closing the library, the
new and improved Woodrow Wilson Library will be worth the wait,” said
Edwin S. Clay III, director of the Fairfax County Public Library. “The
new library will enhance the library’s ability to serve its customers’
many and varied needs for information, recreation and meeting space.”

Woodrow Wilson Library opened as a 1,400-square-foot storefront library
in 1961; the current building opened in 1967. The renovated
14,410-square-foot building will include 93 parking spaces, multiple
meeting rooms with additional capacity, modernized facilities and 24
public computers. The funding for the renovations is from a library bond
referendum approved by voters in 2004.
